How often should you water your rubber tree?

Watering the rubber tree depends on the season. The temperature in spring and autumn is very suitable for the growth of rubber trees. You can water them every 5 days. When the weather is hot in summer, you need to increase the frequency of watering. In winter, the air is dry, so watering once a month is enough.

How to water the rubber tree

1. Watering the rubber tree follows the principle of drying it thoroughly when dry and watering it thoroughly when watered. Water it immediately when the soil surface turns white. Its leaves are large and numerous, and absorb a lot of water. Water should be sprayed on the leaves frequently to keep the surrounding air and soil moist. 2. When spraying the rubber tree, generally only choose to do it when the air is dry and the temperature is too high. It is mainly to relieve the discomfort caused by dryness and high temperature. Spray on the leaves when spraying. Note that even multiple spraying cannot replace watering, because watering is for the plant, and spraying is only for the leaves.

Overwatering of rubber trees

If you water the rubber tree too much at one time, the tender green leaves will turn yellow, the branches will wilt, the soil in the pot will become hard and lumpy, and even the roots will rot, which can directly lead to death.

After watering the rubber tree too much, you should stop watering it for three days and place it in a ventilated and dry place. Do not expose it to the sun, otherwise the water will evaporate too quickly and affect its growth. Observe whether there is falling or yellowing leaves. If so, it is best to trim the rotten roots and replant it.
